The Statler Brothers - Chet, You're The Reason lyrics

There was a group of little guys grew up together In the fifties when rock and roll was hot And every time they turned on a radio station Chuck Berry and Little Richard was all they got And then one night they heard the country gentleman Playing something new in a brand new way Chet would you play ( guitar ) Still hear him today ( guitar ) Chet you're the reason we're country today ( dobro ) We only met but never got to know him Till our first TV special years ago So then we called and asked him If he'd come by and do a little picking on our show And there we sat in front of all America Like we used to sit in front of our radios Chet would you play ( guitar ) Still hear him today ( guitar ) Chet you're the reason we're country today ( dobro - guitar ) Chet you're the reason we're country today
